Air-Cooled Chiller System Refrigerant Balancing | Optimize Cooling Efficiency with EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

Why is Refrigerant Balancing Essential for Air-Cooled Chillers?

Proper refrigerant balancing is critical for maintaining optimal cooling performance, energy efficiency, and system longevity in air-cooled chillers. An imbalanced refrigerant charge—whether undercharged or overcharged—can lead to reduced heat transfer, excessive energy consumption, compressor strain, and possible system failure. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides professional refrigerant balancing services, ensuring precise refrigerant levels, optimal pressure settings, and maximum chiller efficiency.

Our ISO-certified refrigerant services cater to:

• Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities
• Commercial Buildings (Offices, Malls, Hotels, Hospitals)
• Data Centers & IT Cooling Systems
• Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Cooling
• Food Processing & Cold Storage Units

Signs Your Air-Cooled Chiller Requires Refrigerant Balancing

Inconsistent Cooling Performance

• Chiller struggles to maintain setpoint temperatures
• Uneven cooling or fluctuating discharge air temperature

Increased Energy Consumption

• Higher electricity bills due to compressor overworking
• Loss of efficiency leading to excess power usage

 Ice Formation on Evaporator Coils

• Ice buildup on evaporator or suction lines, indicating improper refrigerant flow
• Low refrigerant levels cause poor heat absorption

Short Cycling & Frequent Compressor Shutdowns

• Chiller turns on and off too often, reducing lifespan
• Overcharged refrigerant causing high-pressure cutoffs

Unusual Noises from the Chiller System

• Hissing or bubbling sounds indicate low refrigerant pressure or gas leaks
• High-pressure noises can be a sign of overcharging

 High or Low Suction & Discharge Pressures

• Low suction pressure suggests undercharged refrigerant
• High discharge pressure indicates excess refrigerant in the system

Overheating & Compressor Failure Risks

• Compressor running hotter than normal due to refrigerant imbalance
• Reduced lubrication, causing mechanical wear and tear
